Dollar/Yen continues its uptrend, crawls up to 110.55

(23:12) GMT

Dollar/Yen on a 4 days bullish run gaining 37 pips (0.34%) Today's session so far looks to be heading in the same direction – hesitant but green: from an earlier low of 110.06, Dollar/Yen is up to 110.55 gaining 37 pips compared to the 110.18 start of the day (0.34%).

Uptick comes while some more positive signs for Dollar/Yen are out as United States Existing Home Sales released earlier shows an improvement to 5.86 million from the preceding data of 5.78 million, but falls short of the projected 5.90 million. United States Initial Jobless Claims fall short of the 350,000 projections, with 419,000 and continued its downward trajectory from previous figure of 368,000.

At the same time, Japan CFTC JPY speculative net positions released today at 7:30 PM with a figure of -55,700, this is better from previous number of -56,300.

As the day reaches an end a chart visual study suggests USD/JPY could be slowing down soon as it approaches resistance at 111.54, of course crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead. Asset volatility analysis shows that the upper Bollinger band is at 111.12, this is a slight indication of a slowdown. On the other hand note that at 110.36, Dollar/Yen made an initial breakout above 21 day Simple Moving Average, an indication of a positive trend.

Overall, looking at the technical analysis landscape, it seems a reverse of course in the short term might be next for Dollar/Yen.

At the same time, S&P 500 hits fresh record high at 4,412.81. Nasdaq climbs to new all-time high at 14,843.
